[Solved] Matlab + openbox

Hi

Running x64, I installed matlab, and everything works fine. Except for one problem, I can start matlab using ~/matlab/bin/matlab in a terminal and it starts  and works fine however it outputs this:

/home/patogen/matlab/bin/util/oscheck.sh: line 192: /lib64/libc.so.6: No such file or directory

#8 [0x7f39006e8878]

However, starting it from the openbox menu fails, the program starts, my menu.xml entry for Matlab is:
<item label="Matlab">
    <action name="Execute">
        <command>~/matlab/bin/matlab</command>
    </action>

The matlab logo shows up and everything, it closes ... if I change the above to:
<item label="Matlab">
    <action name="Execute">
        <command>urxvt -e ~/matlab/bin/matlab</command>
    </action>
</item>

And it works, but now I have a terminal open. So any idea on how to solve it? I can start it from a terminal, but I like my menus
